Personally, I find the whole "I hate the Start Screen" conversation rather curious.
1. I'm an "old dog" (used personal computers since time before the IBM PC) but I can learn new tricks. Why can't the bloggers that want to be though of as authorities on all the new tech learn new things.
2. Personally I always found the Start Menu rather clumsy. You have to drill down into the menu tree to find what you are looking for. If you manually rearrange it then it becomes more functional, but that same manual work makes the Start Screen just as functional. I can't fathom why so many people always want new stuff but can't learn new stuff. I find the Start Menu an adequate but far for "great" interface. The Start Menu, even on a mouse driven desktop orientated environment, to be as good/poor if not slightly better (easier customization for one). Personally, I have relied on "shortcuts" pinned to the Taskbar as my main Desktop method of launching programs for well over a decade and it works as well in Win8.1 as it ever did.
